Question for Sales leaders who’ve said “I did an analysis and concluded we just need more at bats”.

Wish I got a consortium full ride but I have tons of student loans instead ;(

Assuming you didn’t pay them off completely, how much were your student loans when you left biglaw? And what was your salary in your new role? How did that work out for you?

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Celsius has been great (mainly for the amazing MATIC returns), but I think I will significantly reduce my holdings here.

Google "celsius badger dao"

My concern with this platform has always been how they're engaging in DeFi to make profits with customer funds. That's how they offer things like "no fees on withdrawals" and APY rates above the competition. MATIC is becoming to valuable to risk leaving on this platform.

Security wise though, I think they're great and have no concerns there.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?

Anyone here from the UK? I'm on a H1B and ain't been home in a fair while. Was hoping to get back for Christmas, given it looks like travel is opening up (at some point?) In November, but my immigration counsel seemed dubious on how easy it would be to renew the H1B to get back to the States in a reasonable time. While country looks like bedlam atm tbh.

I am the only immigrant with an accent in my office and it’s almost a daily thing now that my bosses/coworkers would explain terms to me that I already know. I’d often freeze when they do that because my first reaction is always confused. How do you talk about it with them after the fact especially when it seems like it’s not a big deal to them?

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

What happens in case your GC I-140 is approved with current employer and new employer don’t start GC process?

Hi all, my H1B got approved today and I am waiting on the actual physical notice. In parallel I have a L2 EAD extension request in process. My H1B is valid from oct 1 only. Can I withdraw my L2 tomorrow? Is it okie if I am out of status for nine days? I am worried that the L2 will get approved. If it does get approved, what do I do?

My company filed an AOS to extend my visa and change it from L1B to L1A. I have all the prereqs being a manager both in my country before entering the US and after. Last Friday I received a message saying USCIS is sending me an RFE. Can anyone tell me based on experience what type of evidence they could be requesting?

Curious... how long did it take for you to get your GC from the day when your employer started the process for you?

Hi Everyone - Need some insights. My PERM process was started by company in Feb’22 (currently awaiting wage determination, submitted to DOL in May’22). Its been months and DOL is working on requests from Jan’22. My H1B expires for good in Oct’23 (with all the recapture). Is there any chance I’ll have my PERM completed by then? For those of you who have been through this process, what was the overall timeline like? Non ROW. Appreciate any insights you can help provide! TY!

Hey fishes, what if -

I get my h1b stamped at my home country with my current company

Is it possible to work for 10-15 years on a TN visa? Really unhappy at my current firm and want to switch. Planning to go back to Canada after about 10 years so don't really need a GC (I own a house in Canada if it means anything). Wondering if it's possible for TN renewals to be rejected if you've been on it too long

Any rough estimates on current rfe timelines? Regular processing at Vermont Service Center. RFE response was filed March 18. Want to try to get a sense of when to expect a decision.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Is the only way to find out your case tracking number through the physical receipt notice?

Hi all! Can you find out where your case was transferred to? I see a lot of people say it was transferred to NBC, is that just an assumption folks are making or do people have the ability to find out?

Can we do GLG type calls while on H1b? I get a lot of these requests but not sure if we are allowed to do this.
